Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 347 What can I do if I keep making the wrong choice?

Fugaku Uchiha was eventually "invited" out of the family by Obito's parents.

Through the door, listening to the sound of a belt hitting his buttocks and Obito's wails, Fugaku Uchiha's lips twitched.

He then sighed helplessly.

Their own security department...

Has it really come to this?

Being disliked by others to this extent is practically a slap in the face to Uchiha Fugaku.

but……

Fugaku Uchiha sighed.

So what if it's a slap in the face?

Wasn't it all the Uchiha's own doing?!

The Uchiha clan isn't without its chances.

During Hashirama Senju's time, even Madara Uchiha was willing to cooperate with him.

If Hashirama Senju had scattered the Senju clan in Konoha, and the Uchiha clan had followed suit, then the Uchiha clan's current predicament would not exist.

But that's impossible.

The Uchiha clan existed as a family during the Warring States period. Even if they moved to a village, would they abandon their clan for the village?

That was impossible in the first place!

Then Tobirama Senju went up on stage. He looked around and thought, "Oh ho, your Uchiha clan has such a large territory."

Thinking back on the battles I fought with the Uchiha clan before I founded the village, I have to stand up for the Uchiha clan, both for the public good and for private reasons (of course, we all know that personal grudges and individualistic hostility are definitely more important).

And since you yourselves made a foolish mistake and drove Madara Uchiha away, don't blame me.

Then, the Uchiha clan was suppressed.

The Uchiha clan became even more united from then on. After all, if they weren't banding together when the Hokage was suppressing them, wouldn't they be courting death?!

And then...

You Ya went on stage.

In fact, the Uchiha clan had three best opportunities if they wanted to join Yua.

Or rather, it wasn't three best opportunities, but rather the five years before and twenty years after Tobirama Senju's death were the best times to submit to and pledge allegiance to Yua.

Five years before Tobirama Senju's death, Yua was in power. At that time, Tobirama was fighting on the front lines, and Yua was supporting him from behind. The Uchiha clan did not support him or cause any trouble; they just muddled through.

When Youya was collecting supplies, they only gave a token amount.

Later, Tobirama Senju returned and continued to suppress the Uchiha clan.

They failed to realize that Yua was not targeting their Uchiha clan, or rather, even if they did, they were unwilling to think about it, since Tobirama Senju was still alive at that time.

As long as Tobirama Senju is still alive, there's nothing wrong with them being careful and wary of the Hokage.

Then, Tobirama Senju died, and Yua took over.

During this time, Yua and Shimura Danzo set up a duel. In fact, their opportunity to go there at this time was also very good, and it could even be said to be no less than when Yua was in charge of logistics and went there before.

Unfortunately, they were watching.

After that, You Ya officially took over, reformed the system, and began distributing dividends at the end of the year.

By this time, you've already received your share of the profits, and Youya's goodwill is quite evident!

Of course, to be fair, we can't say that Yuya was specifically extending goodwill to this one family.

He sent them to the other families as well.

Therefore, if the Uchiha clan comes to you at this time, Yua will be very happy. After all, you can see that the other clans are all tacitly accepting the money, but none of them are really helping Yua.

After that, various factories were built, and profits were divided up again.

While increasing its stakes, Youya also began to seize territory from other families.

The continuous expansion of buildings led to the current inner city.

At this point, Uchiha was undoubtedly still Yua's number one contributor.

However, the Uchiha clan still did not.

Of course, we can't be too quick to judge, since at this point, strictly speaking, no family had truly aligned themselves with Yuya or voluntarily handed over their land to him.

Yuya wasn't angry and continued with his plan until he drove Orochimaru out of Konoha but built a laboratory in the Land of Grass.

Yuya's attitude towards his underlings is to expel them. You people have no relation to Yuya, so why do you think Yuya won't take action against you?

It's just a pity...

So many years have passed...

Yuya has completely fattened up the clansmen of these ninjas into pigs.

They were furious when Youya demanded their land! They were enraged! They wanted to fight Youya to the death!

Yu Ya listed a figure at the end of the year.

They glanced at the number, put their weapons away, and some families even said, "Brother, I was just joking. Don't you know we love our village the most!"

As a result, small families such as Inuzuka, Nara, Akimichi, and Yamanaka gradually and completely abandoned their clan territories.

Even Sarutobi, Hyuga, and Shimura ceded a large portion of their clan's lands.

But only the Uchiha...

Only the Uchiha.

Youya has not taken any action yet. Although two factories were built, dividends were still distributed at the end of the year.

The fact that the Uchiha clan preferred to leave their territory abandoned rather than give it away left a deep grudge in Yua's heart.

Why did Yu Ya only announce the plan to replace the power plant this year?

There are many reasons, but to put it simply, the first one is:

There won't be any trouble within the Uchiha clan, or rather, even if there were, they would only dare to talk about it; these guys wouldn't dare to take the first step.

The second reason: There was no need for it before.

One power plant used to be enough, but now we need a second one.

The third reason is external factors.

The biggest reason is...

That is, for some reason, another economic crisis has occurred in Kumogakure.

—Nara Shikaku: I don't know! Don't look at me! I just take Konoha's money, carry sacks to the Kumogakure black market to exchange it for their money, and then buy their goods to resell. I only make about 20% of the money going back and forth. This has nothing to do with me, right?!

(Well, one Nara Shikaku definitely has nothing to do with him, but if there are many more people...)

Choza Akimichi: Huh? Why are you looking at me? I hang out with Shikaku Nara, I do whatever he does!

Yamanaka Inoichi: I'm just joining in the fun, and why wouldn't I do it if I can make money?

Other merchants: Yes, yes, yes! We saw this operation and realized it was profitable, so we followed suit. It has nothing to do with us!

In short, although he didn't know why there was another economic crisis in Kumogakure, they had experienced one ten years ago, and this time it was probably for a similar reason. Yuya didn't intend to pay attention to the situation in Kumogakure and planned to take advantage of the situation to mess with the Uchiha.

Fugaku Uchiha wasn't unaware of these things; it's just that he was currently...

There was simply no way to resist.

Let's look over here...

Listening to Obito's wailing from inside the house: "I just thought that if I went to the Security Forces, I could help the uncles, aunts, grandfathers, and grandmothers of Konoha Village more and better, that's why I wanted to go... Waaaaah..."

Fugaku Uchiha shook his head helplessly.

He knew perfectly well why Obito's parents didn't want him to go to the police force.

The high-ranking officers of the security department were being held tightly by those guys from the clan's territory. If he were Obito's father, he would never have allowed Obito to go.

There is no future there...

Now, the other clan ninjas and civilian ninjas in the security department have also realized this, and their enthusiasm has been greatly dampened.

Fugaku Uchiha knew all of this.

But he... couldn't change it...

He was ultimately... not Yuya.

With a sigh, Fugaku Uchiha shook his head and turned to leave.

I'm sorry, Uncle Jing, I've disappointed you.

You went to great lengths to let me know that the Hokage was going to take action against the Uchiha clan...

But I don't want to stop it...

The Uchiha clan, who have enjoyed peace and prosperity for twenty years, are now ready to lay bare their coffers.

They are the Uchiha clan...

What can you do if you keep making the wrong choice?
